McCain Trusted More Than Obama on Economy, Iraq, National Security
Rasmussen Reports ^ | May 30, 2008 | Rasmussen Reports

Posted on 05/30/2008 7:29:11 AM PDT by Kleebo151

When it comes to the economy, 47% of voters trust John McCain more than Barack Obama. Obama is trusted more by 41%. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey also found that, when it comes to the War in Iraq, McCain is trusted more by 49% of voters. Obama is preferred by 37%. McCain has an even larger edge—53% to 31%--on the broader topic of National Security. These results are little changed from a month ago.

I don’t “trust” McCain.

On the other hand, I am 100% certain that Obama will do the wrong thing.

I could never understand the polls that say that Americans trust democrats more on taxes and the economy. Democrats want to raise taxes, which always hurts the economy. I always wondered whether people are really that clueless or if the polls are cooked.

I would not trust a socialist with the economy either.

I think Obama and his elitist ilk must have escape plans to go to some third world country because their policies would put our very survival at risk. They will leave the DUers out to dry.

I’d rather put the economy in the hands of someone that admits he doesn’t know much,

than into the hands of someone who is absolutely certain that Marxism is the way to go.

The first type can be educated.

The “American’s who trust democrats” are the ones they poll who do not pay taxes....

This election sucks. 3 bad choices.

Bad news for Buraq, though.

Especially considering the polls are probably slanted in bambi's favor.

"never understand"

You have to know that most Dems I know are totally, stone-cold ignorant about economic matters. The Dems promise to give them more "freebies" among other things. These people are also jealous and vindictive. They want to see the rich, whom they identify as mostly Republicans, get taxed severely. A lot are like my near ninety-year old pappy who thinks Roosevelt brought us out of The Great Depression with his screwball policies. They have been convinced that high taxes means a good economy. Despite the fact that every Dem, like Mondale, who runs on a tax-increase program loses heavily.

the impression I get from leftwing blogs is that idiocy will never be in short supply in the world and the perverted attraction of socialism and cultural marxism is still a threat to our civilization.

It’s becoming increasingly apparent to the majority of Americans who have real jobs and actually pay taxes that Obama is no more than the Democrats’ answer to Dan Quayle.

Obama beats McCain on surrendering, raising taxes, sucking up to terrorists, and aborting children.

“That’s not the impression you get when visiting left-wing blogs.”

Or when watching the MSM. But what’s the difference?

Duh....

The Democratic party is heading over the cliff if the super delegates give the nomination to Fauxbama.... He will not only lose the White House spectacularly... his temperment and inexperience will lead to direct harm of the undercard surge they are expecting.

The entire reason for having superdelegates is not to just rubber stamp the popular vote if it gets to them without a majority, but to make sure the party picks the best nominee for the party if it hasn’t been decided in the popular vote.

Unfortunately for the democratic party, the democratic superdelegates are largely cowards. They know damned well Fauxbama will get pasted... but rather than risk alienating blacks by not annointing him, they will likely annoint him and watch him implode.

I have never seen a guy so utterly out of his league as Fauxbama running for president. Most local and state level politicians are more competent than this guy. This is going to be a bloodbath for the Democratic party in a year where they should have cakewalked.

AMEN! I am so sick of hearing the idea that 4-8 years of Obama will "fix" Conservatism...
